FORMER WHITE LION FRONTMAN MIKE TRAMP TO RELEASE “MUSEUM” IN AUGUST, VIDEO FOR “TRUST IN YOURSELF” POSTED ONLINE
It was a little over a year ago that former White Lion singer Mike Tramp released the semi-acoustic Cobblestone Street album — a collection of songs that showed Tramp from a more singer-songwriter and roots-based angle than his earlier work. Now Tramp is back with a new solo album titled Museum. Due on August 18th through Target, the CD was produced by Soren Andersen and was recorded and mixed at Medley Studios in Copenhagen.
Since the release of Cobblestone Street, Tramp has been on an ongoing tour all over the world, performing more than 130 shows from Australia to Europe to the States, where he played 40 shows this year alone.
Museum track listing:
1. Trust In Yourself
2. New World Coming
3. Down South
4. Better
5. Freedom
6. Commitment
7. And You Were Gone
8. Slave
9. Mother
10. Time For Me To Go
Watch the video for the first single, Trust In Yourself, below. It was directed by Mike’s son Dylan Tramp.
Just saw Mike a few weeks ago and his solo acoustic show was excellent. We chatted quite a while before the show and he said he’d love to do a final interview with Eddie Trunk and Vito to put the White Lion era to bed. Doesn’t sound like a reunion will ever happen, because Vito is retired. But here’s some great footage I shot at Tramp’s show.

The lion will roar if the money is there.
Thats why you hear crickets..lol
White lion in my opinion was a good band, but never anything great. Pride to me is their go to album and the rest were barely average. Personally I prefer what Mike is doing now and I thought cobblestone was a very solid album. White lion was an 80’s band and now it is 25 years later. Everyone at some point has to reinvent themselves.
It’s not a bad song, though it has a country twinge to it…but then that’s where all the hair metal went…to country music. Long hair, leather, cheesy posing, power ballads and silly lyrics,it’s today’s pop country movement. I’d rather see the guy rock a little bit, though there wasn’t a ton of “rock” in White Lion.
I like this song. Didn’t think I would(assumptions and prejudices), but I do.
